Collision into business and arrest

A Thunder Bay Police Service officer observed a person possibly wanted on warrants just after 3 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6.

The suspect was driving a pickup truck northbound on Vickers Street North when an officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop.

The suspect ignored the officer’s lights and siren before accelerating and speeding through a stop sign at the intersection of Vickers Street North and Northern Avenue. The pickup truck then sideswiped a delivery vehicle before crashing into a business at a high rate of speed.

The crash caused extensive damage to the building and rendered the vehicle inoperable.
